ISLAMABAD: On Monday deposed premier Nawaz Sharif appealed in Islamabad High Court (IHC) to transfer remaining references of Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Flagship Investment from the accountability court judge Muhammad Bashir to another accountability judge.
However, on behalf of Nawaz Shairf, his legal counsel Khawaja Haris filed the appeal in IHC beseeching that Judge Muhammad Bashir had already announced the verdict in Avenfield reference, thus, other remaining references should be transferred from him to a new accountability judge.
The accountability court had earlier shunned this request of transferring references to another accountability court.
On July 6, the Nawaz duo was sentenced to 18 years in prison (collectively) by accountability judge Muhammad Bashir in the Avenfield case.
Accountability Judge Muhammad Bashir ordered penalization of their properties in the Avenfield Apartments and Park Lane of London. He therefore, imposed a fine of £8 million (approximately Rs1,292m) on the former premier and £2 million (approximately Rs323m) on his daughter.
Moreover, the three convicts were awarded an additional one-year imprisonment, which will run concurrently for not cooperating with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
